出埃及记 32
1 百姓见摩西迟延不下山，就大家聚集到亚伦那里，对他说：“起来！为我们做神像，可以在我们前面引路；因为领我们出埃及地的那个摩西，我们不知道他遭了什么事。”
And the people seeing that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, gathering together against Aaron, said: Arise, make us gods, that may go before us: for as to this Moses, the man that brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has befallen him.
2 亚伦对他们说：“你们去摘下你们妻子、儿女耳上的金环，拿来给我。”
And Aaron said to them: Take the golden earrings from the ears of your wives, and your sons and daughters, and bring them to me.
3 百姓就都摘下他们耳上的金环，拿来给亚伦。
And the people did what he had commanded, bringing the earrings to Aaron.
4 亚伦从他们手里接过来，铸了一只牛犊，用雕刻的器具做成。他们就说：“以色列啊，这是领你出埃及地的神。”
And when he had received them, he fashioned them by founders’ work, and made of them a molten calf. And they said: These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
5 亚伦看见，就在牛犊面前筑坛，且宣告说：“明日要向耶和华守节。”
And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it, and made proclamation by a crier’s voice, saying: Tomorrow is the solemnity of the Lord.
6 次日清早，百姓起来献燔祭和平安祭，就坐下吃喝，起来玩耍。
And rising in the morning, they offered holocausts, and peace victims, and the people sat down to eat, and drink, and they rose up to play.
7 耶和华吩咐摩西说：“下去吧，因为你的百姓，就是你从埃及地领出来的，已经败坏了。
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Go, get thee down: thy people, which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, hath sinned.
8 他们快快偏离了我所吩咐的道，为自己铸了一只牛犊，向它下拜献祭，说：‘以色列啊，这就是领你出埃及地的神。’”
They have quickly strayed from the way which thou didst shew them: and they have made to themselves a molten calf, and have adored it, and sacrificing victims to it, have said: These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
9 耶和华对摩西说：“我看这百姓真是硬着颈项的百姓。
And again the Lord said to Moses: See that this people is stiffnecked:
10 你且由着我，我要向他们发烈怒，将他们灭绝，使你的后裔成为大国。”
Let me alone, that my wrath may be kindled against them, and that I may destroy them, and I will make of thee a great nation.
11 摩西便恳求耶和华—他的 神说：“耶和华啊，你为什么向你的百姓发烈怒呢？这百姓是你用大力和大能的手从埃及地领出来的。
But Moses besought the Lord his God, saying: Why, O Lord, is thy indignation kindled against thy people, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, with great power, and with a mighty hand?
12 为什么使埃及人议论说‘他领他们出去，是要降祸与他们，把他们杀在山中，将他们从地上除灭’？求你转意，不发你的烈怒，后悔，不降祸与你的百姓。
Let not the Egyptians say, I beseech thee: He craftily brought them out, that he might kill them in the mountains, and destroy them from the earth: let thy anger cease, and be appeased upon the wickedness of thy people.
13 求你记念你的仆人亚伯拉罕、以撒、以色列。你曾指着自己起誓说：‘我必使你们的后裔像天上的星那样多，并且我所应许的这全地，必给你们的后裔，他们要永远承受为业。’”
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou sworest by thy own self, saying: I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven: and this whole land that I have spoken of, I will give to you seed, and you shall possess it for ever.
14 于是耶和华后悔，不把所说的祸降与他的百姓。
And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which he had spoken against his people.
15 摩西转身下山，手里拿着两块法版。这版是两面写的，这面那面都有字，
And Moses returned from the mount, carrying the two tables of the testimony in his hand, written on both sides,
16 是 神的工作，字是 神写的，刻在版上。
And made by the work of God: the writing also of God was graven in the tables.
17 约书亚一听见百姓呼喊的声音，就对摩西说：“在营里有争战的声音。”
And Josue hearing the noise of the people shouting, said to Moses: The noise of battle is heard in the camp.
18 摩西说：“这不是人打胜仗的声音，也不是人打败仗的声音；我所听见的乃是人歌唱的声音。”
But he answered: It is not the cry of men encouraging to fight, nor the shout of men compelling to flee: but I hear the voice of singers.
19 摩西挨近营前就看见牛犊，又看见人跳舞，便发烈怒，把两块版扔在山下摔碎了，
And when he came nigh to the camp, he saw the calf, and the dances: and being very angry, he threw the tables out of his hand, and broke them at the foot of the mount:
20 又将他们所铸的牛犊用火焚烧，磨得粉碎，撒在水面上，叫以色列人喝。
And laying hold of the calf which they had made, he burnt it, and beat it to powder, which he strowed into water, and gave thereof to the children of Israel to drink.
21 摩西对亚伦说：“这百姓向你做了什么？你竟使他们陷在大罪里！”
And he said to Aaron: What has this people done to thee, that thou shouldst bring upon them a most heinous sin?
22 亚伦说：“求我主不要发烈怒。这百姓专于作恶，是你知道的。
And he answered him: Let not my lord be offended: for thou knowest this people, that they are prone to evil.
23 他们对我说：‘你为我们做神像，可以在我们前面引路；因为领我们出埃及地的那个摩西，我们不知道他遭了什么事。’
They said to me: Make us gods, that may go before us: for as to this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is befallen him.
24 我对他们说：‘凡有金环的可以摘下来’，他们就给了我。我把金环扔在火中，这牛犊便出来了。”
And I said to them: Which of you hath any gold? and they took and brought it to me: and I cast it into the fire, and this calf came out.
25 摩西见百姓放肆（亚伦纵容他们，使他们在仇敌中间被讥刺），
And when Moses saw that the people were naked, (for Aaron had stripped them by occasion of the shame of the filth, and had set them naked among their enemies, )
26 就站在营门中，说：“凡属耶和华的，都要到我这里来！”于是利未的子孙都到他那里聚集。
Then standing in the gate of the camp, he said: If any man be on the Lord’s side let him join with me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him:
27 他对他们说：“耶和华—以色列的 神这样说：‘你们各人把刀跨在腰间，在营中往来，从这门到那门，各人杀他的弟兄与同伴并邻舍。’”
And he said to them: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Put every man his sword upon his thigh: go, and return from gate to gate through the midst of the camp, and let every man kill his brother, and friend, and neighbour.
28 利未的子孙照摩西的话行了。那一天百姓中被杀的约有三千。
And the sons of Levi did according to the words of Moses, and there were slain that day about three and twenty thousand men.
29 摩西说：“今天你们要自洁，归耶和华为圣，各人攻击他的儿子和弟兄，使耶和华赐福与你们。”
And Moses said: You have consecrated your hands this day to the Lord, every man in his son and in his brother, that a blessing may be given to you.
30 到了第二天，摩西对百姓说：“你们犯了大罪。我如今要上耶和华那里去，或者可以为你们赎罪。”
And when the next day was come, Moses spoke to the people: You have sinned a very great sin: I will go up to the Lord, if by any means I may be able to entreat him for your crime.
31 摩西回到耶和华那里，说：“唉！这百姓犯了大罪，为自己做了金像。
And returning to the Lord, he said: I beseech thee: this people hath sinned a heinous sin, and they have made to themselves gods of gold: either forgive them this trespass,
32 倘或你肯赦免他们的罪......不然，求你从你所写的册上涂抹我的名。”
Or if thou do not, strike me out of the book that thou hast written.
33 耶和华对摩西说：“谁得罪我，我就从我的册上涂抹谁的名。
And the Lord answered him: He that hath sinned against me, him will I strike out of my book:
34 现在你去领这百姓，往我所告诉你的地方去，我的使者必在你前面引路；只是到我追讨的日子，我必追讨他们的罪。”
But go thou, and lead this people whither I have told thee: my angel shall go before thee. And I in the day of revenge will visit this sin also of theirs.
35 耶和华杀百姓的缘故是因他们同亚伦做了牛犊。
The Lord therefore struck the people for the guilt on occasion of the calf which Aaron had made.
